They are imported. Can't have a threaded muzzle on an imported firearm. That's the 89 import ban at work.
ATF has determined that certain features designed for military application are indicative of non-sporting rifles and shotguns. Features which are not recognized as sporting include, but are not limited to, folding or telescoping stocks, pistol grips that protrude conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, a bayonet or bayonet mount, a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor, a grenade launcher and night sights.
Leaving cold: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/firearms-guides-importation-verification-firearms-ammunition-and-implements-war-import ETA - I'm rolling eyes at the ATF, not you, to clarify.  There are FAL threads under that muzzle device if you drill out the pin.

Interesting, I was not aware these were as is imports. I'd have thought the threads and FH would have been equally bad.

Just like ARs during the bad years, a permanently attached brake doesn’t count as an evil flash hider or threaded barrel.
Be interesting to know how FN did the import process on them though. Complete guns, partial builds, blocked magwells, etc. Kinda wish I would have gotten a second one when CDNN was blowing them out. Fun rifles, I think I prefer it to the Tavor.
